Pretty good for being low cal. Used 1% milk and chanterelles for the mushrooms. Had shrimp shells in the freezer and added them to the shells from the shrimp for the recipe so the soup base was very flavorful. Used a bit more sherry too. Will make it again!
This was freaking delicious! I did make some alterations. Used seafood stock instead of water used unsweetened almond milk instead of milk and added a tbsp of tomato paste. The prep does take a while but this recipe is going in the rotation!
Ina Garten uses leeks and garlic and shellfish stock so clam juice might make it better than just water.
I've been making this for years. It's become one of my standards. I use nonfat half&half on place of low fat milk. I also add old bay seasoning to the broth and add the peppers and scallions after the shrimp so that they don't over cook I thro in the parsley at the very end.
Great dish and so EASY! I made this dish last night and it turned out beautifully! From the very beginning the smells coming from the pot were making my mouth water. I did add a bit more flour in the end to thicken it up but the flavor was amazing. Even my picky-eater boyfriend really liked it. Chopping the veggies was the most tedious part but not a big deal at all. Will make again!
This was a lunch item on one of Eating Well's meal plans -- and it's FAR too much work for a lunch meal. We also had to halve the recipe and even if you don't you'll have to find other recipes to use up the leftover ingredients. The shrimp tasted fine but there are other shrimp recipes (eg. shrimp scampi) that aren't as much work and taste just as good or even better. Will not make this recipe again.
I did some of what Jnta suggested and put the parsley and scallions in at the end and I added Old Bay. We also used a full pound of shrimp. Very tasty. Added 5 drops of hot sauce a tiny bit of salt and a dash of pepper. We will be making this again.
bland and labor intensive I would rather dry fry the shrimp and throw them on top of the veggies in a salad. Pros: low calorie Cons: even lower in flavor
